Professional job on both the kit and the images!

It's a real pleasure to be able to watch this work of art come alive!

Thanks for taking the time to share,

Hello all

It is a long time not updating my current project. :D

The real suspension is redone by metal parts and some tuned parts.

Still a long way to go :iceslolan

Thank you for your comment.

Beautiful work, can't wait to see more

Awesome bit of work. Looks great..

Looks superb!!! Which CF have you used on the undertray, 1/24 SMS?

What kind of clear did you use on the car?

Great job so far.

Chris

Thank you for the comment :D

To Thesaint111: Yes I have used the SMS CF for the undertray but in 1:20 scale. After that I did some touch up on the CF as the original tone is a bit shiny. I did employ some 1/24 CF for the cockpit, sidepod, etc.

To builder77: I have used the clear paint from Finishers.

Mikusen

Finishers is the best clear I have ever used over decals.

Keep up the good work.

Chris

Hello all

A little update on painting the brake disc.

Happy modeling :D

Man, that Jordan is looking awesome! But what really makes my jaw drop is the photography. What setup are you using?

Just what I was thinking... Wow.. Superb model, and great pictures.. Such attention to detail.. Superb work..

Thank you Phil but I am not a pro on photography and I still have a long way to learn for that :D

My setup for pictures is simple: I have used 2 black card board for the background.

Below is the camera setting for reference.

Camera Model Name
Canon PowerShot Pro1
Tv( Shutter Speed )
4
Av( Aperture Value )
8.0
Flash
On
Color Space
sRGB

Although I have used the super-macro function on the Pro1, the picture would only be shapen on the closest area. Therefore, photo editor software had been employed to shapen the whole picture.

Agree with the others. Nice work....

Murray

The 191 looks SOOOOO pretty! Great work!

Fantastic Mikusen, what black did you use on suspension parts and gearbox?

Thanks Sjelic.
I have used tamiya XF1 as base colour and using Tamiya weathering master for touch up. :smile:

Hello all

In order to give more contrast on the engine bay, I have applied CF pattern to the suspensions last night.

Holy cow, that looks awesome!
Damn, I'm feeling the pressure to CF my Leyton House project a LOT more than I intended now...

Keep it up!

Thank you Captain Mark

But don't feel to much pressure on it, you should enjoy modelling, right? :grinno:

My technique for applying CF is that I would use a paint brush to make sure the CF laying flat to the parts.

Hope this help :iceslolan

Mikusen

how did you get the finish on that brake caliper?
dry brush on the edges? it looks real...

Beautiful work, your modeling and photography skills have really made this a superb effort. Thanks for sharing your progress on this amzing kit with us. :)

Are you sure this Jordan had suspension parts made of CF? Back in 1991? I doubt it... But anyway, it looks pretty cool!

holy schmoly!
I nearly missed this - better late than never :)
Terrific build! :bigthumb:

Awesome!!! Did you clear coated the CF???

I hate to agree (and therefore say anything), but the 191 had alloy suspension members that were painted/coated to a semi-gloss black finish.

Bill

The 191 had a carbon fibre front pushrod for at least some events. The rest was as Bill states to the best of my knowledge. The brake ducts were c/f too, rather untidy looking by todays standards.
I like the way those pivot points and shocks are coming along! :)

Stunning.. When you apply the CF, do you make the template a little bigger and then cut the excess off when applied to the part? I need to learn how to do this, as I can't expect SMS to make templates for every single model ever produced....

It looks so good, as CF decals are the next challange for me. Got P/E kinda sorted, CF is next and your CF work looks great.. For my first attempt at CF I ordered SMS templated decals, but as I said this will only take me so far, I need to learn how to make my own..!! Reading freakrays FAQ has helped, but seeing your CF work as made me think just how good this can look..!!

Keep it up, this is one of the best detailed 90's F1 cars I've seen..

Looking Excellent!!

The CF looks fantastic, but it is incorrect. but for looks its awesome! :sunglasse

Yeah, nice photo, You're right, only the front push rod is in carbon.

Thank you very much for the comment and support so far. ^_^
I understand from the picture in hand that only the front reforcement bars showing CF pattern. However, I did it to the rest is to give more contrast only.

Happy Modelling :D

Holy Cow!

GREAT WORK!

Chris

This is coming up brilliantly, I'm very impressed!

I would like to know how you made those tiny screws holding the seat belt supports on top of the driver seat?

Great work BTW!!

hi~
nice to see you progress here!!

how can you make the seat to real~?
it just looks like real leather!!!

Hi Joey

Good to see you too. :tongue: Hope everything is fine at your side.

Basically, I have used the interior coating (which is from Modeler) to give it a rough surface. Until it dried out, I used the #1500 sandpaper to give it a rough sanding. :rofl:

Mikusen

Hello all

Just a little update for my Jordan :D

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a295/mikusen/Jordan%20191/JR051028014.jpg

I am trying to modify the steering wheel and the shaft so I do some tuned parts from the rotary machine. I still need to detail up for the steering wheel and hope I could sort it out tonight, stay tune!!

Happy Modelling :smile:

Mikusen

I continue to be amazed with each update! Is that carbon fibre decal you've used to give the headrest a fabric look? Or something else that does the trick? Also did you notice there is some excess carbon fibre decal or something caught in the crevice where the engine cover will sit.

Hello Phil

Yes. I have used the CF to cover the headrest and sprayed it with flat black colour to give some touch up.

Also, you noticed that some excess carbon fibre decal on the edge since it was torn after the removal of paper tape. I will have this area to CF again. :grinno:

Mikusen

I think you had bete get ued to the "master builder" thing ;)

:worshippy

Simply A W E S O M E ! ! ! !

Roberto

Thank you for the comment so far.

Not much have been done last week. I have only added some connectors insides the cockpit.

Mikusen,

This is a really beautiful piece of work that you are doing, congratulations!
In one of your previous updates you said that the suspension arm were aftermarket metal upgrade parts. They certainly look beautifully detailed even prior to your cf work. Which company did you get these from?

Fabulous work on this model. I have it in my to-do pile, and it is also the subject of my mouse mat! I love the shape of the car, especially the nose and front wing which I think a gorge.

Keep it up,

That model is great and I think that this car is one of the best looking F1 cars ever!

Just amazing!
Is that Schumi Spa version? I guess so. Don't forget the ropes or what is it in front of rear wing :D
